Re: I HEART
I days where you finally get to do the one thing you have been dying to do for a few years.
For me it was finally tell my ex-fiancee that she is a broken record. She sent me a text earlier and decided to show me what she was telling her new boyfriend and was like 'Look! I'm so happy with him!' and I proceeded to burst her bubble about her happiness. I pointed out that she has literally said the same thing to me when we were together, she said the same thing to the guy she left me for (which WAS my "best friend"). She proceeded to get upset and mad because I was so openly pointing this all out to her. Even more so after I pointed out that the only reason she was mad was because she was being called out... apparently when you are told that someone wants you in their life for your honesty... they don't like it when you are honest... who knew.
None the less, it was satisfying to finally point this stuff out to her. I wasn't trying to be mean to her or anything of the like. I was honestly just trying to open her eyes to the routine she keeps getting into. As much as I dislike her for what she did to me, I do wish her the best moving forward. I've had time to heal and get better from the wound she left in my heart and honestly, it's not completely healed yet at all. I have a long way to go before that happens, but I hold no ill-will towards her and truly want to see her happy with someone who isn't treating her like crap.
But on the other side... it was very satisfying to know that just telling her that pissed her off. There is more to why it's satisfying, but I've let you lot in enough... a few people know more of the story, but it's not the important thing here at all.
(If you ask those who know me, this is a HUGE step for me, so it is kind of a big deal in my life and I just wanted to share my happiness about finally stepping up and telling her the truth instead of just trying to appease her.)

Re: I HEART
Generally speaking (though people love to cry admin bias a lot anyway) if the person who 'sacrificed' something was the person who got punished, and the person they were trying to get punished, didn't get punished... Chances are the first person is the one who is in the wrong, and going around breaking rules. IE, not done out of 'unselfishness and integrity' and moreso done out of malice and spite.
Re: Classleads Fall 2018
Be very careful with these Defiler nerfs.
You've currently approved nerfs to Blackvines (fine), Entropy damage (fine), Woodheart (fine), Devastate (questionable, but maybe), and Bellow (this one I disagree with completely). The idea should be to make the class do less damage before their closer, in exchange for being able to basically one shot someone during it. If you nerf their over time DPS while also nerfing bellow, the class will just never kill anyone above a certain health.

Re: Improving Imperian
Lately it seems there's just been a lot of tension in the world. And I've been thinking recently about the raids. I think we all agree that some of the raid mehchanics don't work the best i.e. taking a city's tutors thereby affecting new players etc. I don't feel there's too much RP around the events from I'm from Magick or AM or Demonic and we're opposed to you so let's do this thing. So I have a suggestion I'd like to throw out there.
Current the raids work with having objectives taken from the city, and from the recent post the results are the guards attack you with less power the more objectives you have. What if each city was in charge of protecting a special orb or something i.e. a magick orb that helps strengthen magick in the world (I'm going to use magick examples to make it easier for me to explain) and similar ones for AM and Demonic. Now in some areas where you hunt you can get the line "(Affinity): Your Magick affinity is 93%. It is affected by In a Demonic area." If I were to lose protection of my orb magick affinity would say decrease by 5% in the world, anad if I were to have stolen someone elses ord and add it's power to mine, increase 5% in the world.
I'm hoping by making a subtle difference in understanding the purpose of raiding might help people not take things too personally?
I'm like the worst person at understanding coding in the world, but most of the stuff is there already so could it be done with a little tweaking? What do you guys think of this idea?
